This is a cultural thing at Fly.io, which is on more prominent display in the "Fresh Produce" section of our community site. It's been tricky to get infra work out in front of our users in the same way platform developers have been able to, which is messed up, because infra people here do a huge amount of the work.

Rather than asking infra developers to do somersaults to make their work fit the mold for the "Fresh Produce" topic, we're just going to do some of that writing for them. We're going to keep doing this, and I expect it's going to make more sense as the weeks move on.

We certainly didn't submit this to HN; I think it looks super weird here, especially with just the first week of content on it.
Yes of course this is true but I was responding to this common idea that high salaries, say over 300k, don't actually exist in the US when they do and are very common for Engineers at large SV tech companies.

Not a sensible default.

If you establish mapping first you could probably use 4 or 8 byte integers as ids instead of using custom encodings to gain 30 vs 19 bytes. With 8 bytes you could even use a hash.
Back in the 80s, data storage on cassette was commonplace for 8-bit micros, because disk drives were expensive add-ons. I know I used them with my VIC-20 and TI-99/4A.
Yeah; I re-read that article couple of months ago. The core notion about submarine articles I find very valid and as Paul suggested, fun to discover.

But... internet has changed massively since then, I feel; both the authors and reader audience are different in demographic distribution. I don't much subscribe to the notion that "Internet is dead", I think "old internet" is still there, just about as large with just about same interested audience, for those who want it. It's merely been... superseded, supplanted, overwhelmed? Whatever the appropriate word is, from early quirky adopters to general mainstream and varied audience. Back to the point though - the trust level of online content I feel has been drastically reduced since Paul's article, and with the AI content generated feedback loop we're encountering as we speak, it may experience a sort of "crash" in trust / consumption / economic model. We'll see! :)
No because it's very hard and costly to do so and even then the units have to meet habitability requirements.
I submitted it. I just stumbled on it while checking out the openings and about LiteFS Cloud today.

Congrats on the paper, very interesting.

Can you opine on how the model will fare on hardware that is optimized for transformers? There is so much investment in accelerating the transformer arch[1][2], will xLSTM / sLSTM benefit as well, or will the hardware optimizations give transformers enough of an advantage that it’s hard to compete on general purpose hardware?

This. I have to onboard a lot of students to our analysis toolchain (Nuclear Physics, ROOT based, C++). 10 years ago I prayed that the student has a Mac, because it was so easy. Now I pray they have Windows, because of WSL. The tool chain is all compiled from source. Pretty much every major version, but often also minor versions, of macos break the compilation of ROOT. I had several release upgrades of Ubuntu that only required a recompile, if that, and it always worked.
The novel discoveries and technology advances for medical countermeasures is impressive since the pandemic.

It is very feasible we will see this happen alongside similar developments for SCV2 and other pathogens due to the precision and potency these strategies provide for broad lineages by targeting more conserved domains of the proteins.

I am especially interested in the delivery vehicle developments(nasal, patches, etc) and platforms that have been created to adapt quickly.

At that point it wasn't as much about control[0] but as that the runtime really was bad. I used it when they released Flash on Android and it was completely unusable. Extremely laggy, the mouse events did not map to touch events well at all, and it would out of memory crash all the time.

Replacing flash on the web with HTML5 was actually a good thing. It's just unfortunate that nobody has built any good web authoring tools for "mere mortals" to use.

[0]Remember the iPhone was launched with no App Store, and Steve Jobs just thought that everyone should write PWAs in HTML5. It took developers jailbreaking the phone, making native apps, and massive internal pressure from Apple people to make him go ahead with the store. But it was partially about control because at the time Flash was a huge source of security bugs and drive-by virus infections from just loading a flash ad. Apple would have to release emergency OS updates if they had bundled flash and they never wanted to be tied to someone else's schedule.
There's a meta-question which is "if you did should you have been doing what you were doing?"

The times in recent years where I have used such things have tended to be technically successful and commercially worthless, while the things that paid off had a tendency to be churning through piles of tedious and stupid.
Your first question is literally "begging the question" because there is a premise that that wealth was earned and therefore "had" by others, when that wealth only accrued to them because of the system we have.

If we lived in another multiverse where Elon Musk was only worth $100 million and his other $200 billion were in bank accounts of 100 million other people, none of us would be the wiser about this one.
Partly because its world ceased to exist. HyperCard flourished in a world where ‘all’ Macs had a 512×342 monochrome screen, and always ran full-screen. That makes drawing and laying out an UI fairly easy. You didn’t have to wonder how your colors would look in black and white, or how window size would affect the location of an UI element.

I'm not sure that I totally buy it. In my opinion, shorter work days, depending on the industry, would have a far more positive effect on the ratio of productivity to company money spent. Obviously there are many industries where this couldn't work, and perhaps 4 day work weeks would be more practical in those cases.

Productivity aside, we should be striving to do less of the work we don't want to do so we have time to do more meaningful things.
That might be a presumption in your head, based on the mechanisms you presume are in place, but that meaning is not actually contained in the words of that sentence. The word "collect" alone is ambiguous as to whether it is direct or indirect.

And if you read other privacy policies, outside of the tech industry, it is normal to use the word 'collect' for information gathered from various sources. (e.g. insurance privacy policies)

>modern Linux systems are built out of tiny components that can be embedded, except instead of COM-like IPC, it's done through a mix of shelling out, exec() calls and filesystem operations.

I always thought that the main reason MacOS is more appified ("siloed"?) than Linux is because when both programs are open-source, it becomes easier for one developer to make two programs ("projects"?) work more closely together. More precisely, it becomes easier for a developer to make a change that crosses a boundary between projects and get that change integrated into both projects. Unlike the situation with COM, there can be a great variety of methods ("implementation details"?) by which the two Linux projects start working together better.
Can be used for this purpose. But I don't recommend it.It is necessary to choose the CIP correctly so that it does not look like spam.
In my experience, whether this is top of mind has a lot more to do with what people work on and with what tools than with level of understanding. For instance, in your example:

> For example a report that took over half an hour to generate, I made a one-line change and cut the time to a few minutes

In essentially all the work I've done in my career, this would be the result of expertise in SQL and the relational model, not in data structures and algorithms. I don't recall ever working on reporting code that isn't a dumb pipe between a SQL query and a mature library for writing CSV (or parquet or whatever). Sure, there are tons of data structures and algorithms on both the database server and client side, but that's not what I'm working on.

And I think this is pretty typical for people who mostly build "applications", that expertise in tools is more of a value-add than expertise in data structures and algorithms.

But having said that, I do agree with you that everyone benefits from these kinds of "fundamentals". Not just this, but also other fundamentals like computer hardware and systems, networking, etc. I think fundamentals are very useful, while also thinking that many people are good at their jobs without them.
Yeah, the US is big. Movies and TV shows usually only show like 2 or 3 cities which makes everything seem like it's close together. For instance I live on the east coast, and I've never been to LA California, which might seem weird but it's over 2500 miles away. Different regions have basically different sub-cultures that emerge because we're so spread out.
Unrelated to this specific news but I love that in 2024 there's still very niche forums with an 90' look that exists somewhere on the internet. Just passionate people discussing asynchronously without any "social media" shenanigans.
I was stunned how many engineers I met at Google who didn't know memory allocation takes a ton of time, didn't fundamentally believe it when you told them, and just sort of politely demurred on taking patches for it - first get me data, then walk me through the data, then show me how to get the data myself, then silence, because profiling ain't trivial.

There's a 3x speedup sitting in a library because it's in a sea of carefully optimized functions manipulating floats, and someone made a change to extract a function that returned an array.

It was such a good Chesterton fence: change seemed straightforward and obvious, better readability. But, it had cascading effects that essentially led to 9 on-demand array allocations in the midst of about 80 LOC of pure math.

In my experience, there's hangover from two concepts:

- Android does garbage collection and Android is slower than iOS

- You can always trade CPU time for memory and vice versa (ex. we can cache function results, which uses more memory, but less CPU)
> It's curious - perhaps related - that in English the difference between "salary" and "wages" also remains and is even relevant in some parts of the market.

This is a useful distinction, and I'm mildly surprised it doesn't show up in your native language. A salary is fixed compensation for full-time labor: the employee is expected to work during (usually) business hours, in exchange for a contractually-agreed amount of money.

Wages are hourly: the employee works when scheduled, and is paid an agreed amount for each hour they work.
Yes. OVH hosts our metrics cluster. I don't believe it hosts anything else for us. We have different (and multiple) upstreams for hardware that hosts customer workloads, and for edge ingress.
Children becoming fully independent from the authority of their parents and relatives at a certain age is a uniquely modern, American idea. Everywhere else, and throughout the rest of human history, hierarchies of age and blood relation tend to be immutable and pervasive.
> Yes, I do. That was and continues to be a valid complaint,

No, it doesn’t - because you can simply not use the tools if you don’t want. You can just order a $2 spudger off Amazon if you want, you don’t need the tools at all.

It continues to be a completely invalid complaint that shows just how bad-faith the discussion about apple has become - it literally costs you nothing to not use the tools if you want, there is no downside to having apple make them available to people, and yet you guys still find a way to bitch about it.

Moreover, despite some “bold” proclamations from the haters… no android vendors ever ended up making their oem tooling available to consumers at all. You have to use the Amazon spudger on your pixel, and you will fuck up the waterproofing when you do your repair, because the android phone won’t seal properly against water without the tools either. IPX sixtywho!?

It’s literally a complete and total net positive: nothing was taken away from you, and you don’t need to use it, and it makes your life easier and produces a better repair if you want it. Apple went out of their way to both make the tooling available to normies who want to rent it or people who want to buy it for real. And people still bitch, and still think they come off better for having done so. Classic “hater” moment, in the Paul Graham sense. Anti-fanboys are real.

https://paulgraham.com/fh.html

Literally, for some people - the pelican cases with the tools are too big and heavy. And that’s enough to justify the hate.

Again, great example of the point I was making in the original comment: people inserting their random hobby horse issues using apple as a foil. You don’t like how phones are made in general, so you’re using apple as a whipping boy for the issue even if it’s not really caused or worsened by the event in question etc. Even if the event in question is apple making that issue somewhat better, and is done worse by all the other vendors etc. Can’t buy tooling for a pixel at all, doing those repairs will simply break waterproofing without it, and you’re strictly better off having the ability to get access to the tooling if you decide you want it, but apple offering it is a flashpoint you can exploit for rhetorical advantage.
The metrics cluster, and that's it.
It's funny how we used to have games over radio waves (this, article, but 40 yars ago), then went through a bunch of other media (cartridges, floppies, cds, dvds, blurays,...) and then came back to games over radio waves (download via mobile network).

Now that AOT is part of the standard toolchain, with plenty of Midori, and C++/CLI capabilities also exposed to C# Language level, a memory safe systems language with a modern type system.

But putting aside the tech jihad for a moment, I'm curious:

> It would be 100% in line with the company’s ethos to embrace unions

What gives you that impression? I admit I'm a hater of all big tech, but I think an objective view of Apple shows that they're a brutally self-interested megacorp. Even if you believe all their marketing about how they are consumer focused, that wouldn't logically extend to them treating their employees well. It's not in their interests to do so (at least in this case), and Apple is basically immune to bad press so it's not like it'd affect their image.
